Biodiversity and conservation efforts in Cornwall

Overview

Environmental and biodiversity initiatives are being implemented across Cornwall through both large-scale funding and localized projects.

The Cornwall National Landscape partnership secured over £1 million from the UK National Lottery Heritage Fund to address climate change and biodiversity loss. This funding supports habitat restoration, peatland recovery, and community stewardship across 12 geographical zones in collaboration with the National Trust.

On a smaller scale, the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has successfully converted land at its Kernow Building into a wildlife haven. By implementing meadow-style habitats, the project has fostered the growth of wild orchids and attracted various pollinators and insect species to support local biodiversity and staff wellbeing.
